How to Find Instagram Reel Templates Using Third-Party Apps
Instagram’s built-in Reel template gallery is pretty limited. We’re sure that more will be added in the near future and that it will get much more diversified. However, if you can’t find a template you like, you can turn to third-party apps such as Canva (Android iOS) for extra templates. Note: some of these Reel templates are not free, and you’ll need to upgrade to a paid tier in Canva to access them. Alternatively, you can also try the Mojo app (Android iOS), which includes a series of free Reel templates. More options become available if you pay a subscription. In addition, you can also try Promeo (Android iOS). The Reels experience on Instagram is great. However, one thing that’s missing is a dedicated watch history feature, something which competitor TikTok already offers. Image credit: Freepik. All screenshots by Alexandra Arici.
